MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just realised they've planted over 1k trees in the area alone. That's quite an enlargement 😯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiggy553 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 You plant trees pretty close together initially and thin them out as they get bigger. Only needs 2 acres or less to plant 1000 new trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 22 hours ago, 4AssedMonkey said: I was thinking this. Not a headline level act IMO. Other than Tilted (which was an OK song, stood on the shoulders of an ace video) I don't think I've heard much else of their output and not really liked any of it. I think when Tilted first came out and they were on things like Jools, it all seemed original and good to watch on TV. Then everything subsequently just seemed more of the same. And without the interest of being able to see the dance moves (unless you're right at the front), it seems even less appealing really.

I love them and had a great time in there while Dave Grohl and the boys were on the Pyramid the other year but the crowd was sparse back then! I think Phoenix’s stock has slightly fallen as well. I've been to a few headliners in the JP tent that were up against big names on the Pyramid, and it's great! For me at least. I'm sure the bands would have liked a few more people but they were always grateful to those that came to see them, and I loved being able to get to near the front AND nip off for a wee if I needed to!

wro_lap Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Have we seen someone go from Other headliner to Other afternoon fodder before? Because that appears to be what we're seeing with Alt-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Coming round to Courteeners in Woodsies. 3 times they've played their fans have been taken by whats going on just before or after them. 2013 - crossed over with the start of arctic monkeys, JP to Pyramid but we left with 3 songs to go and had some real trouble getting in the field at that pinch point 2015- had to leave early to go to Libertines (not planned but happened) 2019 sandwiched in between Liam Gallagher and The Killers on the Other. it was possible if you're fast like we were but not ideal Just in the tent late afternoon is way better. If you like them the atmosphere should be good Edited May 13, 2023 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
